Passage 2 （24-25学年高二上·沂水三中·期中） Dear Editor In the past few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people studying abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater. To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save money. Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students. A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! As China has boomed the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country. To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad you should consider these many factors. Kind regard, Wang Li ( mother of twin girls) Dear Editor, Is studying abroad a good idea or not? There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties or a person who is brave, optimistic, and willing to work hard! The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence. Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoy promoting friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture. Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. China’s global outlook, with projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative, has helped us make connections across the world. Therefore, China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent with languages， have leadership and organisational skills, and have strong cultural awareness. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities, and these in turn will provide them with better career opportunities. All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a shared future for all. I think this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile and I hope my child will study abroad in the future. Sincerely yours, Zhang Yi (father of one boy) 1．What is Wang Li’s attitude to studying abroad in the first letter? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Disapproving. D．Objective. 2．In Wang Li’s opinion, what’s the advantage of studying abroad? A．Bearing great economic pressure. B．Facing unfamiliar environment. C．Having great potential benefits. D．Experiencing the culture shock. 3．Zhang Yi thinks that students studying abroad can __________. A．become more dependent B．get less chance for cultural exchange C．lose a global perspective D．develop organizational skills 4．What can we learn from the two letters? A．Students studying abroad don’t need to learn how to live in a new environment. B．Studying abroad helps to increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity. C．Students studying abroad can’t encounter problems with personal safety. D．Studying abroad helps students to speak excellent English in a few years. 主题03 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·山东德州·期中） Stifel Theatre Tours The Stifel Theatre features a luxurious main theatre with 3, 100 seats, a two-story front lobby, four ballrooms, dressing rooms, and lounges.

Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater. To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save money. Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students. A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! As China has boomed the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country. To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad you should consider these many factors. Kind regard, Wang Li ( mother of twin girls) Dear Editor, Is studying abroad a good idea or not? There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties or a person who is brave, optimistic, and willing to work hard! The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence. Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoy promoting friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture. Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. China’s global outlook, with projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative, has helped us make connections across the world. Therefore, China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent with languages， have leadership and organisational skills, and have strong cultural awareness. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities, and these in turn will provide them with better career opportunities. All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a shared future for all. I think this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile and I hope my child will study abroad in the future. Sincerely yours, Zhang Yi (father of one boy) 1．What is Wang Li’s attitude to studying abroad in the first letter? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Disapproving. D．Objective. 2．In Wang Li’s opinion, what’s the advantage of studying abroad? A．Bearing great economic pressure. B．Facing unfamiliar environment. C．Having great potential benefits. D．Experiencing the culture shock. 3．Zhang Yi thinks that students studying abroad can __________. A．become more dependent B．get less chance for cultural exchange C．lose a global perspective D．develop organizational skills 4．What can we learn from the two letters? A．Students studying abroad don’t need to learn how to live in a new environment. B．Studying abroad helps to increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity. C．Students studying abroad can’t encounter problems with personal safety. D．Studying abroad helps students to speak excellent English in a few years. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是由两篇信件构成的，这两封信是关于出国留学是否是一个好主意的讨论。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater.(尽管出国留学可以带来巨大的好处，但我认为对于年轻人来说，弊大于利)”可知，Wang Li对出国留学的态度是不赞成的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to!(最后一点要考虑的是，虽然出国留学确实有潜在的好处，但在中国学习的年轻人也有一个美好的未来值得期待！)”可知，Wang Li认为出国留学具有潜在的好处。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Therefore, China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent with languages, have leadership and organisational skills, and have strong cultural awareness.(因此，中国需要更多具有全球视野、语言能力出众、具备领导力和组织能力以及强烈文化意识的年轻人才)”可知，Zhang Yi认为出国留学的学生可以培养和发展全球视野、语言能力、领导力和组织能力以及强烈文化意识，这其中包括组织能力故出国留学可以培养学生的组织能力。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. (学生必须学会如何在语言能力有限的陌生环境中生活)”以及“Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. (一些学生甚至可能遇到人身安全问题。)”可知，学生必须学会如何在语言能力有限的陌生环境中生活；一些学生甚至可能遇到人身安全问题，故排除A选项“Students studying abroad don’t need to learn how to live in a new environment.(出国留学的学生不需要学习如何在一个新环境中生活)”以及C选项“Students studying abroad can’t encounter problems with personal safety.( 出国留学的学生不会遇到人身安全问题)”；同时D选项“Studying abroad helps students to speak excellent English in a few years.(出国留学可以帮助学生在几年内说一口流利的英语)”在文中并未提及，故排除D选项。根据第一封信中第四段部分中“A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, (最后一点要考虑的是，虽然出国留学确实有潜在的好处)”以及第二封信中最后一段“All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people’s understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a shared future for all. I think this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile and I hope my child will study abroad in the future.( 总而言之，出国留学有助于塑造品格，增加人们对文化多样性的理解，同时增强中国的实力，构建人类命运共同体。我认为这段改变人生的经历是值得的，我希望我的孩子将来能出国留学)”可知，第一封信虽然主要强调了出国留学的坏处，但指出了出国留学确实有潜在的好处，其中并没有否认其文化交流的好处，由此两封信都提到了出国留学可以促进文化交流，增加对文化多样性的理解。故选B。 主题03 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·山东德州·期中） Stifel Theatre Tours The Stifel Theatre features a luxurious main theatre with 3, 100 seats, a two-story front lobby, four ballrooms, dressing rooms, and lounges.
